Taleb on antifragility

This week’s EconTalk is a conversation with Nassim Taleb about a book in progress, Antifragility. I’m not sure how it will turn out in print but it is full of interesting ideas–many of them new–others go deeper into ideas in The Black Swan and Fooled by Randomness. I liked the manuscript quite a bit–I hope you enjoy the conversation.

This is our 300th podcast at EconTalk. Hope to keep going for a while. I feel like I learn more than the listeners.

Coming next week, David Rose on the moral foundations of economics. On the schedule, Eugene Fama, William Black, David Owen, David Weinberger, and Emanuel Derman.
